Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective treatment option or early stage breast cancer and outperforms lumpectomy in terms of obtaining tumor-free margins, according to a new study published in Radiology.

Screening mammography is a reasonable surveillance tool for breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy and breast reconstruction with autologous myocutaneous flaps (AMFs), according to new research published in Radiology. Mammography provides little additional value, however, if the patient had reconstruction after a prophylactic mastectomy.

Breast imaging fellowships might be suffering from a lack of structured curriculums and standardized requirements, but a group of Harvard Medical researchers wrote in the Journal of the American College of Radiology this month that a combination of organized rotations, regular feedback, structured learning activities and increased community participation could help homogenize programs across the country.

Thirty-five percent of residents think a policy change that allows first-year residents to work more hours could lead to more accidents and errors, according to a new survey published by Medscape.

As the proportion of women in radiology increases—however slowly—and healthcare’s quadruple aim attempts to prioritize physician well-being, a group of female doctors in Alabama is making a case for more adequate, comprehensive pregnancy and motherhood resources for young residents.

Nearly a third of physicians with personal connections to cancer admitted in a recent poll they offer ovarian cancer screening to women at low risk, despite national guidelines warning against the practice.

Access to a visual aid boosts the confidence of radiologists as they manage contrast medium reactions, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. It also led to a slight drop in errors and helped participants administer intramuscular (IM) epinephrine more quickly.

When it comes to major career decisions, radiologists whose choices are driven by intuition and self-care might be less prone to stress and burnout than those who base decisions on external influences and pressures, one physician wrote in a Journal of the American College of Radiology editorial this week.
